Radical Reality

U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Epps expressed concern that Winner was apparently fascinated with the Middle East and Islamic terrorism, CBS News said.

Prosecutor Jennifer Solari said investigators seized a notebook from Winner’s house in Augusta, Georgia, CBS News reported, and that Winner wrote of traveling to the Middle East, writing at one point, “I want to burn the White House down … find somewhere in Kurdistan to live. Haha.”

Winner had expressed anger toward Republican President Donald Trump on social media, the New York Times reported.

“The government is not in any way suggesting the defendant has become a jihadist or that she is a Taliban sympathizer,” Solari said in court, CBS News reported.
